    Mexican-Style Stuffed Peppers with ground beef and potatoes, topped with avocado and dairy-free cheese. A perfect weeknight dinner recipe!

    MEXICAN-STYLE STUFFED PEPPERS

    Stuffed peppers are a great and healthy alternative to tacos or burritos with giantΒ tortillas! In an effort to serve up a lower-carb Taco Tuesday dinner, I stuck true to my typical meal but stuffed then baked bell peppers.

    I grew up having stuffed peppers, smothered in cheese. For those of you who can digest cheese, go forth – but if you can't, avocado adds a nice creaminess!

    We recently started adding diced potatoes to our tacos. We got the idea from one of our favoriteΒ Mexican restaurants, Rosa's Cafe! The first time I saw them in there I didn't know what to expect, but they're so tasty so now I add them in as a treat from time to time.

    Instructions
     

    • Slice the tops off of bell peppers and remove seeds. Preheat oven to 350 F.
    • In a large skillet, cook ground beef as you normally would, breaking it into pieces as it cooks. About halfway through, toss in diced potatoes and let soften. Once everything is cooked, stir in taco seasoning.
    • Prepare a baking dish and place bell peppers in, making sure none will fall over. Transfer mixture into bell peppers and cover the baking dish with foil. Bake for 45 minutes. Once done, remove from oven and top with your favorite garnishes.

      As others have said, this seems to be a lovely recipe! I don't have much beef but I suppose chicken mince would do the same job. Thanks for sharing.

      Yuumm! I made something similar to this before, but I didn't think to add Avocado! I'm going to have to try that and lay off the cheese for a bit. Have you made Cajun ones before with rice and sausage for the mains? It's really good, you should try!

        The avocado really brings everything together for me since I can't have any cheese! Let me know what you think if you give that a try πŸ™‚ Ohhh no, but that sounds amazing!! We love sausage and rice.

      This is interesting! When we make stuffed peppers in my house, we do it with ground beef and rice and cheese. Maybe we should try a different carb and go with the potatoes next time!
